Proverbs16:24 Thank you very much! I think I will try seeking out the counselors at the school or an outside therapist just to vent!

NightNerd, ASN, RN: Thank you very much! It's been fun being married! But yeah it is stressful when he doesn't know the nursing process, or the time or effort it takes! And thank you for the advice on maybe supplementing the meds and getting help at the school counselor. I have considered reaching out to them, but I feel that I don't have the time! Especially when it comes to self care as well. But I NEED to make this a priority in order to feel better. Thank you so much for your great advice!

Hi everyone! So I am going through bit of a rut right now. I am newly married and I am currently halfway done with nursing school. But lately, I have been feeling so "off" and feel depressed. I am currently taking an antidepressant, but I do not believe it is helping! Its crazy because I can be happy leaving class and talking with my friends from school, then during the drive home my mood instantly changes, and I am in a bad mood for the rest of my night. My husband doesn't understand. We had been dating for a long time before we got married, and I am normally so happy! I would describe myself as giddy, smiley, and always laughing. But lately (since nursing school started) I have not been the same. I get very anxious when tests come up, and as all of you may know the workload of school is INSANE, so sometimes I only have a few days to study for an exam. My husband states, "Well how long have you known about that exam?" or, "When did you get that assignment?" It makes me feel worse and makes me feel like he doesn't understand me. I feel dead inside, and don't feel like my normal self. It scares me that I will never go back to being happy. Is anyone else feeling this way in nursing school? I just don't know what to do. Thank you!
